<P>
<P>New edition of The Pulse coming at ya with both guns blazing. Today's issue is all about the drama happening with our man Ryan. People with their ears to the street know that Ryan recently sold his pride and joy, Aunt Betty Industries, to none other than big boss, Scara B. King.
<P>
<P>So is this just another tragic case of selling out to The Man, or has Ryan just gone underground? Reactions from Pulse regulars have been split; here are a few of your thoughts.
<P>
<P>- Fender2k: "Don't tell me that you guys didn't see this coming. The guy's been a sell-out from the beginning. Anyone who runs a company is already corrupted by the system. He just finally put his money where his mind was already at."
<P>
<P>- Vavrek: "You think you know a man... and then... as far as I'm concerned Ryan deserves to be ranked up there with Judas and Quisling."
<P>
<P>- Glottis: "You know me, I like to keep things on the down-low... but let's just say that Ryan's been making some extra special purchases as of late. If they're presents for Scara, then I'm thinking that Scara B. King's gonna have a holiday season to remember."
<P>
<P>- Gabriel Syme: "I've known Ryan from day one and there's nobody more dedicated to the ideals of freedom than him. Either Scara forced him to sell or Ryan's got some plan up his sleeve. Either way, I don't think we've heard the last of him."
<P>
<P>So how is this all going to play out? Check back with The Pulse to keep yourself in the know.
